LACKoFMoNEY FOR US. COURTS.

LACK OF MONEY FOR US. COURTS.
There will be any amount of grow ling
and gIumbIing this year all over the
country, whenever and wherever United
States Circuit and District courts are in
session. This will be caused by the lack
of money to pay officials, jurors and wit
nesses, and in many instances prisoners
who are awaiting trial will be compelled
to wait another year to get a hearing,
simply because money is lacking to run
the court which have Jurisdiction in such
cases. This is a serious and very unde-
ssirable state of affairs and is due to the
failure of the deficiency bills, which en-
bodied the appropriations for carrying on
the United States courts during the
present year. Attorney General Garland
is quoted as saying that he does not know
what he will or can do to remedy the
matter. At some places where the courts
are held he may be able to get the banks
to advance the money needed, which has
been done before now when appropriations
were lacking or not available. But this
cannot be done in many districts, and the
results will be that court terms will be
very brief, cases will be continued and
court expenses paid in scrip. Such a
state of affairs is highly undesirable, to
say the least of it, and the situation is all
the more to be regretted because there is
no occasion for it. In the treasury there
is at least $lOO,0OO,OOO idle money, and
yet not dollar of it can be used for the
courts. One consolation is that those
who are affected will know where to lay

SALT without SAVIOR is undesirable, and
what is life without piquancy? If Miss
Cleveland's theory is the correct one,
that man is as his food is, how direful
the prospect for the coming year. Food
derives its piquancy from pepper,
(picante) and it is reported there will be
a great scarcity of black pepper this year,
this default being one of the evils that
follow in the train of the earthquake.
Although life will be stale and tasteless
for want of this condiment, twelve
month without it may so still the frey
passions of men that war and rumors Of
war shall cease throughout the earth, and
the blight that has fallen on the piper
nigrum prove harbinger of the milen-
mum.

THE Pecos valley irrigation canal
would render hundreds of thousands of
acres of West Texas lands independent of
rainfall. If the bill now before the Leg
islature will secure this canal the bill
should be passed. Perhaps it is too
much to ex0ect, however, that any bill
which promises to invite immigration
will meet with favor st Austin. The
prevalent idea with the majority seems to
be that West Texas is fit only for cattle
ranch anyhow. But for the hope
that railroads will come and beat
common sense legislation into
Texas law makers and some slight infor-
nation of the west into the people of the
state, the outlook for West Texas would
be, indeed, gloomy.

the extradition of men claimed by the
executives of Missouri and Ohio, and
when the grand jury of Hopkins county
indicted Colonel Crisp, of = Missouri,
(some years ago. for an alleged murder
committed in Sulphur Springs twenty
odd years ago. it will be also Fesnem-
bered that Governor Crittenden of Mis-
souri, declined to honor Governor
Ireland's request for the extradiuon
of Crisp, who was then living
in Kansas City. Colonel Crisp, however,
settled the trouble by coming to Texas Of
his own accord. He stood his trial at
Sulphur Springs and was acquitted. 1t
appears that if state has any rights in 8
case of this kind it Is exceedingly difficult
to enforce them. The state making the
demand cannot send q posse or en- armed
force into the territory of the state
refusing such demand TO compel obedi-
ence to the behest. The writ issued by t.
court Of Texas or Sou Carolina is of no
force IN Missouri or Georgia. As q
matter of fact there is no redress or
recourse, and unless the Governor on
whom the demand is served is willing to
comply the party making the demand is
simply powerIess to do anything save to
retaliate if opportunity offers for retalia-
ton. The whole question then resolves
itself into one of comfy rather
than states' rights, and it would
appear that common sense and
a mutual identity of interest ought to
constitute the basis of settlement of such
difficulties. Retaliation, simply for the
sake of retaliating, is anything but wise
policy and could only prove a kind of
boomerang, likely to return some day and
plague each party to the controversy.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, is lively partici-
pant in the real estate boom that has
struck the south and west. The Ameri-
can of the 23d inst. has a long article
showing the rapid advances made in
values, of which the following are speci-
mems:
In West Nashville party bought a piece of
property for $4,000 eighteen months ago. Lately
ne was offered $33, 900 for 1t and refused the
offer. In the same part of the city, three days
ago. man who mad speculated in Birmingham
real estate invested in West Nashville. He
paid $4,000 for lot, and before the deed was
made he had a profit of S2400 offered, which he
refused. Last week he sold at profit of $500
over 80 per cent. profit in thirty days. Last
November lot on LANAI street sold at auction
for 1915. a few Gays ago the same lot sold for
$780,
The advance hiss been as great in East Nash
vile as any other part of the city. Fifty seven
acres there sold year ago Tor $50 0. About a
week ago the same property sold for S24 ,OO), an
advance of $4,000 in one year.
In North Nashville property has advanced 100
per cent lately. The first of the year the VII
liam Harding farm was sold for $4,000. The
purchasers have been offered double that
amount for 1t time and again, which they re
fused, and hold 1t at much higher figure. y
block of lots in the same section were pur-
chased sixty days ago for S. 90, were sold in
thirty days for $4,000, and again in ten days at
$40 600, and are now held for $37 900.
About one year ago lot in North Nashville
sold for $l.75 a foot. 1t was sold two weeks ago
for 81 a foot, again for $40, anu again at Sl3.
Mr. j. L Valentino two years ago paid 500 for
a lot which five weeks ago he sold for $4,000. The
purchaser subsequently sold it for $500, and It
is now held al $500.
Three young men, two of whom were news
paper men, last month purchased ffty-seven
fifty foot lots, on the Hyde's Ferry pike, from
j. L Valentino and J. NJ. Williams for So 500,
and the next day sold them TO a syndicate com
posed of Volney James and Harvey Neal and
others for $4,000.

A life-like and powerful picture of the
romantic era in the history Of Texas forty

of Indian life, the magnificent daring of

archal aud hospitable manners Of the race
Of opulent Southern planters, and a con-
ditiOn of affairs on the border which has
now become historical and which affords
magnificent scope to the pen of the novel

is found in the telegram from
Chicago yesterday detailing the
heavy investment of capital in
lake vessels; "a marine BOOM" the tele-
gram called it. Money must find en-
ployment, and if it is denied this in gov
eminent bonds it will seek it in real
estate, and If it sees that there is no profit
in railroad building east of the Missis-
sippi, money will come west of the river
to build roads. Texas offers no better
chance for investment to-day than it did
five or ten years ago, and the coal and
iron at Birmingham, Ala. have been
known te the world for twenty years.
Unless something occurs to brighten CAPT
tai into Withdrawing itself, this boom will
last as long as the money holds out.

A HEATHEN PROPHET.

With all her boosted and generally &C
knowleged culture, Boston is as good a
place for quacks to flourish as any other
in the country or in the universe. It has
more clairvoyants, quack preachers,
qusck doctors, and humbugs generally, to
the square foot than any place we can
think of. The latest acquisition to the
Hub is q genuine prophet from the mystic
land of India. This Brahmin, who spent
brief but not Improbable prophesying
season in London, has been in Boston
some time, but as he has moved only in
the most select Back Bay circles it has not
been noised about very much. The Brah-
minis name is Mohini, and he resides
with prominent and wealthy lady, and
once a week he holds a conference with
his disciples. He sits quietly before
about eighty ladies for two hours and an
swers all questions that are put to him.
Most of the questions relate to eternal
life, but others are sandwiched in. One
problem recently propounded was
whether, when we meet person for the
first time with whom we at once feel in
sympathy, that feeling may be attributed
to the fact that we have in other
bodies and in other worlds been intimate
friends. He answered in the affirma-
tive, and of course that settles
it. But to the question whether we should
give all to the poor and resign pleasant
surroundings, he gave evidence of his
shrewd common sense by saying no.
enjoy all these things" said he, "and
be ready, if the time comes, to resign
them at once, without murmur, but in
the meantime keep possession of the
good things of life" This is entirely
satisfactory, and good many will
accept his advice. Mr.. Mohini had a
brief season in London not long ago,
but of course it was not SO successful as
the one he is now enjoying in Boston.

THE New York Herald has entered g
new field Of enterprise, that of interpret
ing the prophecies. With the courage OF
& neophyte, the first essay in that line is
to unvel the hidden mysteries of Jere--
miah. The passage interpreted is:
Though they roar, yet they shall not
pass" This is claimed a foretelling of
the dire results arising from the re-
quirements of the interstate commerce
law. If the clause abolishlng free passes
only was sufficient to engage prophetic
vision for $500 years, when, in cycles Of
years, may the generations of man hope
for an Interpretation of the full require
ments of this perplexing bill.

A Story on Reegan's Successor,

Correspondence of the Gazette.
NACoGDoCHEs, TEX, March 23.-
Since the nomination of William H.
Martin to fill Reagan's position in the
Lower House, there have been many
Iaughable things said about him in this
town. The best of all is one related by
one of our Hebrew friends.
1t seems that the gentleman has such
long and uncomely hair that every one
who sees him wants to get aboard of him
with a frst-class pair of shears and try
to make him preseptable. We have
section of country here called the "River
Forks" and it's inhabitants are famous
for long hair. Our Hebrew friend, ever
ready to get trade, and
seeing the Honorable Martin walk
ing the sidewalk with his cumbersome
hair, slouch-hat and soiled shirt front,
started in hot pursuit, thinking the gen
tleman was one of our "river-forkers. I"
Tapping the honorable gentleman on the
arm, he was heard to say: "Ssy mister,
have you got any hides?" At this juno

THE unprecedented boom in real estate
throughout the country has been ascribed
by THE GAZETTE to the freeing of money
heretofore invested in bonds and railroad
building in states east of the Mississippi.
Money can now be had now for southwest
railroad construction that was unattain-
able few years ago, and these railroad
extensions bring lands hitherto inaccessi-
BILE into the market. Additional evidence
Of this may be found in the New York tel
egram of yesterday, reporting an i'm
mense combination of capitalists for the
purpose of investing 100000 in Can
ada iron deposits. Further proof

STATES RIGHTS rs. COUNTY.

STATES RIGHTS rs. COUNTY.
Georgia and South Carolina are st log
gerheads over question that is said to
involve the principle of states RIGHTS, but
which is really more question of comfy
than anything else. Georgia officials
crossed the South Carolina state line and
arrested citizen OF the latter state who
had committed crime in Georgia and
then fed to his home in the neighboring
state. The Georgia sheriff! dispensed
with the usual formula of applying to the
Governor of South Carolina for the extra
dItion of the fugitive, and as soon as he
nabbed his man went back to Georgia and
jailed the prisoner. The South Carolina
Governor heard of the proceeding and at
once took steps to defend the violated
dignity of his state. He wrote to Gov
ernor Gordon of Georgia, requesting that
proceedings against the:prisoner be sus-
pended, and intimated that unless
extradited in due and legal form,
South Carolina would demand the
return of her kidnapped citizen
to his own soil, to be set at liberty. He
further intimated that he might demand
the persons of the Georgia sheriff and
deputy who invaded South Carolina ter
ritory, with view to putting them on
trial for the crime of kidnapping as well
as insulting the sovereignty of a state. The
stetu quo is maintained for the present,
until Governor Gordon decides what he
will do in the premises. Cases like this
have arisen quite often in the United
States. 1t will be remembered that Gov
errors Roberts and Ireland both declined
to issue the necessary documents for
